Czech InnEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

A funky, well-equipped (and cleverly named) hostel, the Czech Inn offers private rooms, apartments, and dorms on the border of Prague's happening Vinohrady neighborhood.

Unique, artsy touches abound in the lobby: Instead of tiles, the floor sports flattened metal plates, original artwork hangs on the walls, and soaring windows let in light. The art you see during your stay won't be there forever, as the Czech Inn's lobby and bar double as a gallery, and all the works are available for purchase.

Rooms have a minimalist aesthetic, with simple lines and bold colors. Dorm rooms are spacious and have black metal bunks, white walls, and wood floors. All but one of the apartments on the top floor have access to the shared terrace. These are furnished with clubby black leather furniture with modern floral cushions. Rooms sport lots and lots of black, but avoid being dreary thanks to light wooden floors, lime-green wall decals, and big windows. (Some private rooms even have a chandelier.) Bathrooms boast fancy showerheads that replicate rain, and toiletries are available in private rooms and apartments.

When we visited, manager Jana told us that young travelers book the majority of the Czech Inn's dorm rooms, while older travelers and families book the private rooms and apartments. The hostel's bar caters to the youthful vibe, playing host to weekly "open mic" and trivia nights.
